.........Ok then.... Celestia has dark thoughts.

Hmm. Wasn't taking notes, but I spotted a few errors with commas (mostly in compound sentences), a few tense derps, and a few bits of awkward phrasing. While I like the idea behind it, I could well say the same thing about this as you so recently pointed out about "In Another Castle": it's more a scene than a story. Well, two scenes, rather, but it doesn't seem to have any real conclusion in a logical or emotional sense. Celestia doesn't really change or learn anything, and since she's the main character, we expect some kind of change from her, lest we wonder why the story was told at all. Still, fine idea, although your tweet made me expect more cuddling than I saw.

I know this thing has its errors, but this was again one of those impulse-driven short stories in the middle of the night so it having errors doesn't surprise me at all. I agree though that this is more of a "scene" than it is a "story."

What I was trying to allude to, however subtly, was that Luna was unable to learn or at least forgot what Celestia had reminded Twilight about nightmares and not to let them take over one's mind. Now that is a thing an actual story could be built behind. I think what's here could potentially fill in as an epilogue or prelude to something grander, but I have no real interest in doing so right now. But still, thanks for the comment.

By the way: I don't think there'd ever be a sufficient amount of cuddling to suit your needs.

Wow...that was something. Sweet and scary at the same time.

Counterpoint on cuddling: my boyfriend.

I guess I didn't get that sense of Luna's forgotten lesson from the story itself, although that's a neat idea.

There is a similar recent story by Present Perfect (Civil Twilight), but focused on Twilight having similar thoughts about her friends. This works as an interesting companion piece.

Also, the connection with Luna could have been clearer, but it works well enough as a short story despite that.

Wow this is great. It gives an answer to "If alicorns don't sleep, do they have waking nightmares?". It also nicely explains Luna, that she let her fantasies become reality.
